top down horror stories ?
Just when you thought Cdn's were calm, peace givers...
Horror # 1:
Recently in a visitor parking lot of an apartment bdlg. Some jealous guys (late teens, early 20"s ) decided to throw 2 big gulp slurpees from their balcony a ( cherry flavour ) ALL INSIDE AND ALL OVER my friend's stook. We found both containers, inside... !!! What f**kg mess!!!!! On a warm day, the entire and I mean entire inside was of this sticky red stuff. He only parked there for about 15-20 mins and these idiots did this.
Horror #2
In another related TOP DOWN story, a boxster owner got into a shouting match with a pedestrian, the pedestrian walked over and dumped his drink all over the owner and the inside of his car.
Horror #3
A passing driver flicked their cigarette butt and it landed right inside the passenger seat of the stook. Made a little burn mark, but the ashes were all over the seat.
I dunno about top down driving in this day and age of "Road Rage". I don't know about you, but these incidents have made me keep my top up for a long while yet.. :-(
Has anyone else come across any horrific encounters ??

The worst I've had was that I came out from lunch from my friends and it was raining. I immediately ran to my S2000 and put the top up and then wiped the entire inside with a towel. 
No runs, no drips, no errors and no road rage yet, thank G-d.

I'm so worried about that happening to me. In Central FL in the summer it rains almost every day for at least 20-30 minutes (crazy weather compared to the Northeast which I'm used to). Plus, I've never owned a convertible before. I mean, I leave my windows open now when I run into the 7-11 or something for like 5 minutes, and it'll start to rain. It's so unpredictable. I'll be sure to post my first horror story (hopefully, I won't have to).

The mere thought of this makes me cringe. With all of the freaks driving around out there, my one constant worry is to have someone throw something into the car while I am driving or sitting in traffic.

Rain really isn't too terrible for the car, as long as you dry the car out reasonably soon after soaking it. The worst thing a light rain will do is make your drive home uncomfortable. I parked me last car in Phoenix for a few days while on vacation and left the windows cracked due to the 100+ heat. The next day they had a 2" monsoon rain, and the inside of my Eclipse was soaked. I dried the seat off, put the top down, and drove the 6 hours home with the heater on - no permanent harm at all...

Quite a few years ago in Tucson (on Rodeo Parade Day) my 914 was parked near the parade route with the top off. I returned to find a half eaten Nutty Buddy ice cream cone on the seat.
This stuff happens rarely. It's nothing to worry about.
